Bottle from late 2007 opened October 2009. Thick reddish-brown with a solid thick head. Aroma has some alcohol in it, and shows it’s a little of course, but also has a very nice dark cherry touch. In some ways I think the aging has really worked well for this one, and I haven’t thought the other Anniversary beers were so impressive in that respect. Sweet, with a tangy yeast and alcohol laced taste. Soft bubbly mouthfeel. Quite an awesome beer.

Bottle. Poured a clear reddish orange amber with a lasting light brown head. Aroma was full of fruits with a bit of citrus and a bit of tartness. Flavor was a little darker with some caramel notes that balanced nicely with the fruity flavors. There was a bit of an alcohol bite towards the finish.

Aroma was a combination of bread and molasses. Appearance was orange/red with huge fluffy off-white head. Taste was sweet and finished almost sour.

Bottle. It pours an almost clear body, golden in color, and topped by a decent off-white head. Some alcohol, caramel and dried fruits, fresh fruits and cellar in the nose. The flavor has a nice bitterness in addition to the caramel, dried and fresh fruits and cellar also found in the aroma, but the alcohol is more like a pleasant warmth in the mouth than a real flavor. Full-bodied and effervescent. Bitter finish with some cellar. A nice beer, blending flavors in a lovely way. 090724

Deep gold, fluffy white head. Aromas of all the fruits of autumn, roasted and spiced. Nose is musky and sweet; flavor is slightly sweet and spicy with a hint of warming alchohol. Deep characteristics of a belgian tripel. Excellent.

Bottle. Split this amazing brew with James and Dallas. Pours hazy brown with an off-white head. Gorgeous appearance. Aroma of raisins. spice, and roasted malt. Full, crisp body with an outrageously smooth finish. Excellent brew.

Bottle. Pours a dark, hazy orange body with small white head. The aroma is sweet malt and dark fruit. The flavor is great. Sweetness complemented with malt, spice, and a prune/raisin flavor. GREAT Beer.
